One really great party theme for a child's birthday occurring just after Easter or any time is Tweety. The large, yellow, innocent looking cartoon character is completely compatible with Easter wrapped merchandise. This compatibility of themes can be a budget stretcher. Take advantage of local candy sale prices while ordering the paper party goods with the Tweety theme.

Easter shelves are filled with candy eggs and other bird related items that Tweety might find in his habitat. These would make great party favors or candy bowl contents. Some of them could be the decorations on a Tweety party cake. Tweety's yellow feathers will be easily matched in pastel decorations especially when considering spring clearance fabrics. Games and party favors will be available in similar themes from among those marked down at local groceries and drug stores.

These spring parties will often allow guests to be happily entertained in the outdoors at least in warmer climates. Existing yard games from stored items will be excellent as long as they are pre-selected and sorted for age appropriateness being careful to clean or repair as necessary. Beach balls are good group toys for very young children but yard darts are best left to more mature gatherings.

Tweety's appeal should not be limited to spring festivities. An indoor winter party could feature party goods themed in the image of the big eyed fowl. Some winter items from the clearance bin can serve double duty as well. Tweety would be at home with trees leftover from Christmas decoration. Tree icing candle holders can adorn a home made Tweety bird cake. Such things aren't the best choice for formal entertaining but hardly detract from a child's birthday party.

Don't forget to leave Sylvester the cat outside! Tweety can have a day's peace from that naughty putty-tat.
